Take a look at this Catholic-Orthodox marriage guide on the U.S. Catholic Bishops website.

Jean,

The Catholic Church accepts the Apostolic succession of the Orthodox Churches and that their sacraments are valid. The Catholic Church would recognize and accept the marriage of someone married in one of the Orthodox Churches.

Hope that's helpful.
